I love the Weaver Grand Slams.  I've got a 6.5 to 20 and it's an amazing scope.

But I have a couple of questions...

Does anyone make replacement turret dials for these?  The gold numbers wear off rather quickly.  I like to take advantage of the Micro-Trac's amazing repeatability--so I dial my long range shots with it.  But I've had to modify my turret dial because the numbers wore off.  (I came up with a nifty way to mark the dial for any interested).

And another question.  I need a sunshade for this scope.  Who has them?

Thanks,

Dan
Hunting should never be used to compensate for poor long range shooting skills. :)

I'm not sure this will work for you, but give it a look see.

 

Welcome and we look forward to your knowledge here, Dan.

Cool.  Thanks for the warm welcome.  I'll give Kenton a call and see what they've got. Looks interesting... :)
